Ye Caiping originally wanted Ye Daquan to guard a warehouse or something, but Ye Daquan was unwilling, so Ye Caiping had no choice but to let him be.

Uncle Ye also didn't want to work in the workshop; he couldn't bear to leave the crops in the fields.

Because of the different shareholdings, some owners worked in the workshop while others did not, so those who did work had to be paid wages, otherwise things would fall into chaos.

Wang Shuantou and his son, Ye Yong, and Ye Lizheng all received the same wages: 65 wen a day.

Ye Caiping checks the accounts every night, and her wages are 50 coins a day.

When they learned that Ye Caiping had set a certain wage for them, Ye Lizheng and Wang Shuantou both felt that Ye Caiping had been too low.

Ye Lizheng said, "This accounting is a difficult task. How can it be 50 coins a day?"

Ye Caiping said, "It's not difficult. I can finish it in an hour. But you have to work all day. It's nothing."

Wang Shuantou and Ye Lizheng looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ye Caiping now has to review the accounts of two workshops.

She wasn't stupid; she bought a calculator directly from her online space. Later, realizing the calculator wasn't enough, she switched to a laptop.

In Excel, you can simply enter the data into a formula, drag it down, and instantly understand all the accounts.

Moreover, laptops are meant to be used in space; you can input data with your mind and execute a series of actions with lightning speed! Convenience is key.

The working hours at the furniture workshop are the same as those at the hot and sour soup shop: 8 hours a day and 2 days off per month.

After the furniture workshop officially started operating, Ye Caiping then went back to work on the spicy soup workshop.

There was a shortage of manpower, so Ye Caiping selected eight people from the village to fill the work positions, and hired five more people. The entire workshop had 51 people.

Early that morning, Ye Caiping personally went to the hot and sour soup workshop to hold a morning meeting:

“Since February, everyone has been working here for four months and has done a great job. During the time I was framed, everyone stayed by my side and stuck to their posts. So, starting this month, everyone’s wages will increase by 10 coins per day. Oh, the 13 new people who came in will have to wait four months for their wages to increase.”

The employees were incredulous: "They've raised wages! Does that mean I'll have 40 coins a day?"

Ye Caiping continued, "Also, the previous one-month break was two days, but now it's been changed to three days, adding one more day."

"An extra day off?" The employee was even happier. "Then this day is the same, with pay included?"

"right."

People who used to envy furniture workshop workers who earned 60 coins a day are now feeling a bit better.

They got a raise too! And they got an extra day off. It seems like working in a furniture workshop is a bit harder.

So, it's about right!

Ye Caiping actually planned to raise wages and add a day off after the Lunar New Year, but because the wages at the furniture workshop were high, she moved the pay raise forward to appease the people at the Hulatang restaurant.

Moreover, raising prices now is the best option; otherwise, if prices are raised again after the Lunar New Year, the furniture workshops will have something to say.
